True to ourselves

DOROTHY KAPLE

Many people are dissatisfied and don't really know why. Could it be they are not being true to themselves?

The man of God's creating is incapable of acting contrary to his nature, which is perfect. When we understand this and identify ourselves spiritually, we cannot help being ethical. Our moral standard is clear and binding. On the other hand, acceptance of the belief that there is no established code of moral behavior can lead to immorality and eventually to instability in living a productive life.

One definition of "ethics" is "the science or doctrine of the sources, principles, sanctions, and ideals of human conduct and character." Don't most people truly yearn for good character? Purity and integrity are actually ours already. We need only accept them. They are intact, belonging to our true nature, part of our real makeup.
